By coincidence, my annual blood check at the doctor. So far, I had cut off is always good. This time, she said: “your values are okay.” She meant, especially Inflammation levels, cholesterol, and triglycerides – i.e. fat. Especially the were not increased, but at the upper limit. In comparison to previous years, the trend was clearly rising. Not a disaster, but a little scary, it was still.
I Was wrong with my hope that I will stay forever young and healthy, if I move just enough for you? And my muscular problems could have something to do with my diet? About the note to be a slowly growing Problem? My family doctor was right: “Absolutely, muscles, Tendons, and cartilage are supplied with the nutrients and waste products in the blood and flushed, there’s something wrong, it can lead to such complaints.”
Oh great, I thought, as I left the practice. It was time to change something. But what? Everywhere is something else. Much of it sounds logical, but that also means that it’s true? So I gave me an Overview of las study to study and talked with experts.

There are scientifically well-documented lists of foods that are good for us, and those we should prefer to avoid. With their help, I began to change my diet. As of now, no sweet drinks, more sugar I have the dash almost completely from the dining plan. Cereal was self-mixed with oatmeal, coconut, walnuts, chopped almonds, and what can do full grain shelf yet. Instead of milk, yogurt came unsweetened full-fat. Yes, Full Fat.
